I wonder if the world ending will be a good enough reason not to pay taxes this April?

Let's not delve into politics.

Seriously, I believe that we are in the End Times. In fact, the Church teaches that we have been in the End Times since Christ ascended into Heaven, so sometime soon, possibly within our lifetime, we will be forced to get the Mark of the Beast, most likely a chip implanted into our right hand (so we can no longer make the Sign of the Cross) or implanted into our forehead. With this chip, the authorities can withhold taxes from our wages, and also track us like animals. Without this chip, we cannot purchase food and needed supplies. Worst of all, by accepting this chip, we will become enemies of Christ, and lose our eternal salvation. Already some companies are encouraging employees to get this microchip while the military is moving in this direction. In Europe, there is talk of requiring all newborn babies to get the chip so that they can be tracked and found if they are kidnapped.

Nevertheless, certain organizations have been plotting to give the appearance of His Coming for financial gain. With the Jews and Muslims expecting the Messiah to come, if a fake messiah were to appear, they would rush to support him, and so would misinformed Christians, especially those allied with Messianic Judaism. Would this fake messiah be the anti-Christ?

I agree that we have been in the End Times since the ascension. I have not tried to keep up with how politics or technology may hasten the day. All I know is that the Lord will return when the Father decides it is time. It could be soon or a long time from now. -- Only God knows.

May we be found ready and waiting when the Lord comes.

I am still here. Everyone else?

All good here, lol.

Same here.

I survived.

Now we need to order T-shirts with "I survived September 23, 2017."

Who would dare wear one?
